Everything checked out and looks good following the usual checks.

But for some reason this forced an update to a minimum version of maven
3.9.1, which is a problem. I had to manually install the latest version on
my linux box, as that version isn't even 2 months old. That's not an option
for a significant number of build systems -- plenty of organizations like
to build from source rather than trusting what's in maven central. And
assuming entities have all updated their build platforms to that recent a
release is not reasonable.

Plugin versions can be updated more aggressively since those can be
downloaded automatically. Maven itself is different and we need to provide
a reason why people running a version 3 months old would be prohibited from
building this. I did not find a PR explaining that and this change seems to
have been introduced in an unreviewed "revert" commit.
